British and Irish Lions: Andy Farrell’s side will keep ‘chests up and crack on’ says Tom Curry

The Lions scored tries through Bundee Aki and Tadhg Beirne, either side of a penalty try, but Andy Farrell’s side lacked a cutting edge when they entered Argentine territory.

And Curry, who started all three Tests against South Africa in 2021, said the players must take responsibility for their “own performances and how excited” they became on the ball.

“That is the really annoying thing because on the flip side it’s really exciting because we do have our hands on the ball and are in great spots,” said the Sale flanker.

“But come on, we need to take personal responsibility when we have it.”

Despite Friday’s defeat, Curry described this year’s Lions experience so far as “sick” after the Covid-hit series against the Springboks four years ago.

“It’s nice being in Dublin and people aren’t booing you,” he said.

“I think that’s a cool thing. We speak a lot about respect with our own team-mates.

“We’ve only got six weeks together. Respect is so hard to earn but so easy to lose and I think it’s really important, like I said, that every session and meeting we turn up and push in the right direction.”
